So how does the points system work. How much is each player worth? How many points does each team have?
What would these guys be worth at Frankston?
Jewell - 7?
Chasemore - 5?
Holland- 7?
Damiano - 5?
Surely not?
Camberwell and Casey the teams with the biggest issues, but will probably be solved by not getting any English players back this coming year. Both teams probably need them for their batting. Maybe Prahran as well, but really they'll be OK now I think, Rogers hardly plays for them anyway.
Those teams may find themselves a bit hamstrung with recruiting this season. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Richmond gets a bit of leeway this year with their move, if players don't come across with them then they could end up having to chase a few names.
I also think it's a bit silly that someone like Allan Wise comes back as a four point player from SA. He's still homegrown talent, and Richmond have been punished for producing a player who is being chased by other states.

So Hawthorn have lost Tormey, Hewat, Hooganboom and their coach. They still can't pay players for another 12 months so it will be hard to attract new players. Going to be ever harder for them.
